  • A US-China Business Council survey released Wednesday showed American companies in China report record-low new investment plans for 2024.
  • This downturn comes amid persistent geopolitical strains, such as U.S. tariffs and export restrictions, coupled with China's reduced economic growth and lackluster internal market activity.
  • A poll of 130 major member firms carried out from March to May found that 27% now intend to move their operations out of China, an increase from 19% recorded in the previous year.
  • Kyle Sullivan said, "That's a record high" in companies with no new investment plans, while Sean Stein noted rising risks and said export controls must be carefully targeted.
  • The results suggest growing uncertainty may reduce US business engagement in China despite both countries' interest in maintaining robust American investment.
